Is Ivanka Trump too perfect to be human? She's so poised and polished that nothing seems to ruffle her feathers. So is it any surprise some of her critics call her a Stepford wife? Is Ivanka Trump a Stepford wife? Poised and polished, Donald Trump’s gorgeous daughter can come off as too perfect — and even robotic — sometimes.
Ivanka will be stepping down as the leader of her brand, and she will no longer retain a job at the Trump Organization. But is it safe to let a super-human advise on U.S. affairs? Hmmm. We need to investigate.

The men in Stepford were looking for their own picture-perfect wives. The problem? Women are human beings with flaws. So they came up with a crazy idea: Make robot wives to do their bidding. Stepford is a term that refers to a wife that’s so obedient, subservient and perfect that she comes off as almost robotic.
Enter Ivanka. Impeccibly dressed with the perfect smile plastered on her face, Trump's gorgeous daughter seems, well, flawless. She's the ultimate mother and wife who can run a multi-million dollar company in her sleep. It almost looks ... unreal. How does she do it all? Clearly, she must be super-human.
As Jill Filipovic noted in The New York Times “while Ms. Trump has found both professional and personal success by enjoying many of the benefits of feminism, she is far from an avatar of a feminist future. Instead, she’s a kind of post-feminist huckster, selling us traditional femininity and support of male power wrapped up in a feminist bow.”
Ivanka has carefully cultivated an image as the perfect wife and mother and successful businesswoman. She can do no wrong. But does she come off as too polished?
Meet the perfect human being ...
1. She Always Puts Her Husband First

Ivanka may be a successful businesswoman and one of Donald Trump’s most trusted advisers, but she’s also the perfect mom. And for Ivanka, family always comes first. “I have a few very important roles, but being a mother will always be my favorite,” she said. She, Jared and the kids are moving to D.C. where Jared will be Senior Adviser to the President. She, meanwhile, will “take time to settle our three young children into their new home and schools.”
2. She Does Whatever Her Father Asks

Ivanka has built her image as a powerful businesswoman. But because of potential conflicts of interests and her move to Washington D.C., Ivanka will have to put her business ventures on hold. Ivanka will step down from her fashion brand and will step down from management and operations from the Trump Organization. Her brothers Eric and Donald Jr. will run the Trump Organization instead.
3. She Never Complains About The Sexist Things He Says About Her

Ivanka would never disagree with her father. And so she just laughs even when he says inappropriate things about her. For example, when asked on The View how he would feel about Ivanka posing for Playboy, Donald said, “I don’t think Ivanka would do that, although she does have a very nice figure. I’ve said if Ivanka weren’t my daughter, perhaps I’d be dating her.”
4. She Always Sticks Up For Her Pop

Despite the constant criticism about Donald Trump, Ivanka always stands up for her dad. During the Republican National Convention, Ivanka stuck up for her dad and talked about his “fairness,” “kindness,” “generosity,” and “compassion” during her childhood. She added that her father was “colorblind and gender neutral,” despite the accusations of racism and sexism.
5. She Makes Sure She's Photographed With Her Kids ... Without The Nanny!

Ivanka knows her brand and knows how to put out the image of the perfect wife and mother. Ivanka’s the type of woman who can do it all: Run a successful business and be a picture-perfect mom. As The New York Times notes, she’s constantly writing on social media about the importance of stay-at-home moms and maternal multitasking. She’ll often add the hashtag #WomenWhoWork.

Remember, these are the same people wetting themselves over Michelle Obama.
they cant attack the new POTUS family and it drives them insane...
They can’t handle an effective,intelligent, classy, beautiful lady executive who doesn’t look like a dyke.
Lefties are so predictable. They called Laura Bush a “Stepford Wife”, too.
Hunched protectively over that food, isn’t she?
Sick/demented deranged/jealous fake news!/
I have no issue with the use of “perfect” with regard to Ivanka.
10.
Leftists hate happy, healthy, beautiful people.
That beast hasn’t even finished chewing what’s in her mouth and she already has her fork loaded up for another swoop into her piehole! She looks like the type that will ask you: “Are you gonna finish those peas”, if you sit next to them at a dinner!
Well I’ll be! Look, it’s good old John Boner! I almost forgot about him.
It’s called envy....and it’s a capital sin.
There was that photo of Ivanka on the commercial airplane when she got harassed. She didn’t look like a Stepford Wife then - looked like a typical gal. (Okay - still pretty, can’t get past that.)
She looks more and more like Webb Hubbell all the time.
